technocracy is most widely known as a state central planning the economy by a bunch of experts, and at best as a state with ultimate regulatory authority, again run by a bunch of experts.

You are thinking about this from the perspective of a person who is not an Übermensch.

The trappings of a central government are necessitated by the proliferation of irresponsible people within the population. Remove the bad actors and the remaining Übermensch will naturally form a small government.

That's not to say it will be a complete anarchy. There will always be need for organized cooperation in a social species and that will take form in a government in some fashion. It's just that government will be a much different animal with no irresponsible people in it.

So, instead of electing generic politicians, you'd be electing a board of doctors to make medical policy which would be based not on "special interest groups", like insurance companies, (which would probably be an extinct industry anyway) but based on the common needs dictated between the relationship between doctor and patient.

I'd burn it to the ground. such ubermench would not need government intervention in the provision for healthcare. If your technocrats are any good, then they should be able to earn their authority through the free-market without some statist tyranny like the ADA.
